Squad news for season opener

Hull have kept the core of last year’s side for the 2019/2020 campaign which they start on Saturday with a trip to Huddersfield in National 2 North.

Hooker Alistair Thompson and full-back Arthur Lennon play their first game for the club whilst number eight Latu Makaafi returns after playing in higher leagues for some years to bolster Hull’s forward resources.

Hull have a strong substitute’s bench and the whole squad has been well prepared as they look to make an immediate impact in National 2 North.

Huddersfield has not always been a happy hunting ground for Hull and the side will be fully focused on making a good start after gaining promotion to this higher level.
